Potatoes - I always use floury potatoes to make this recipe. This type of potato makes the puree extra smooth.

Butter - to make this recipe dairy-free, you can replace the butter with olive oil or plant-based butter.

Instructions

You start by cleaning and dicing the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and add cold water to cover the potato.

Drain the potatoes and add the butter. You want to keep a little of the cooking water to add later.

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher and season with salt and pepper. If the potatoes are a bit too dry, you can add some extra butter or some of the cooking liquid.

What to serve with mashed potatoes

• Hachee and cooked vegetables such as green beans or broccoli.
• Add some veggies like endive, spinach, or kale. Leftover mashed potato is also great for making Dutch hutspot!
• You can bake potato pancakes with leftover mash!
• Serve it with Swedish meatballs.
• As a topping for a casserole like Sheppard's pie or bobotie.
• Turn it into pommes duchesse!

What potatoes are best for mashed potatoes?

Ideally, you should use floury potatoes. Because floury potatoes contain more starch and less water, they absorb more flavors and fall apart more easily, you get a smooth, creamy puree.

Storage

Mashed potatoes last about 2-3 days in the fridge. Make sure to store them in an airtight container because they will absorb flavors!

They are also suitable for freezing! Divide the mashed potatoes in portions into freezer bags or trays and freeze them. This way, it stays good for about three months.

Let the puree thaw slowly in the refrigerator and heat it in a saucepan or in the microwave.

You can add some water or extra butter if the mashed potatoes are too dry.
